The core page
Preliminary
It consists of three to four paragraphs containing a description of 1) the background of a relevant library summary or knowledge background; 2) unknown things or scientific gaps; and 3) the purpose of research or the description of the approach to address the scientific gap or problems raised.
Method
This chapter describes the research design used, time, place, inclusion and exclusion criteria, large samples and types of formulas used, types of statistical testing, and the type of software used.
In a clinical trial, the author must specify whether the trial is an open, randomized, single, double, or other form of trial. In addition, it is necessary to explain how the researchers protect their subjects from side effects and how to deal with the side effects that occur.
The statement of ethical clearance of the ethical committee and its registration number must be written. In addition, in studies involving humans, related statements of informed consent should also be mentioned in the method.
Results
The result chapter consists of: 1) a description of the sample or subject of the study; 2) a response rate (number of samples recruited, number completed, and who did not complete the research); and 3) the results of measurement and data analysis.
If there is a sample that is not analyzed, then the reason should be explained. It is not permitted to carry out additional analyses or link parameters of one with another that were not previously planned.
The results of the study can be presented in the form of tables or graphs.
Table and picture/graph
The table has a short title, placed above the table, and, if necessary, a footnote can be added under the table to explain the non-standard abbreviations, the identification of units, and the statistical analysis used.
Images or graphs are useful to present complex data. Types of images and graphics that are commonly used include pie diagrams, bars, lines, radar, or process diagrams, flow diagrams, photographs, and documentation. The title is placed under the image or graph.
Disscusion
It contains interpretations of:
The main outcome of the research is whether the results answer the research questions and how the findings answer them. (pada paragraf pertama).
An explanation of the results is why a finding can be obtained, including other abnormal findings that are not expected but appear in the results.
Comparison with existing studies, either for or against.
A result analysis is an explanation of how to generalize the findings obtained.
Implications and Applications: An explanation of how the findings can influence existing theories and what conditions are suitable for the application of such findings
The limitation of research leads to further research recommendations.
Conclusion
Conclusions should be concise and clear. The conclusions answer questions or research objectives and can be continued with advice related to research weaknesses. The findings do not repeat all the research results.
